Whoo-hoo.

Baboon, baboon, baboon.

Reggie, you've gotta let me in.

Reggie, please.

Hold it.

Reggie.

Reggie, please.

Reggie.

Reggie.

Reggie, over here.

Reggie, Reggie, please.

Reggie.

This is some crowd, eh?

I hope I can get in.

I've been here for three hours.

Yeah, it's been wild tour.

You're with the band?

I'm their photographer.

Simon St. Christopher. How you doing?

Really?

Yeah, really.

What?

Oh, no, I'm sorry, I was just...

You've modeled, right?

Well, yeah, some, but, you know,

not, like, professionally.

That's all the better.

No, it's just that, eh, we're looking

for a fresh face for the band's new video,

and I think you're perfect.

All I need's an 8-by-10 to run past the lads.

Well, I don't really have, you know,

a good picture, so...

No worries, we can do a test shoot tonight.

Oh, but the concert.

Concert.

Look, I'll tell you what.

I can take you backstage to meet the lads

after the shoot, and get you tickets

for tomorrow night.

You're kidding.

No, I'm serious.

What's your name?

Jenny Lynn Calder.

Well, Jenny Lynn Calder...

tonight's your lucky night.

Shall we give it a go? Yes.

All right, come on.

♪ I carried you wherever... ♪

Wonderful.

Great. One second.

That's right. Beautiful.

Ah, you're an angel.

Great, Jenny Lynn.

Right, now swing your head back.

That's right, that's right, Jenny Lynn.

Oh, the lads are gonna love this. Lovely.

Beautiful. Great.

Lift your chin just a bit.

Great. Marvelous. Great.

Get into the music. That's right.

Good, love.

That's the color of the video.

Great, marvelous.

Oh, the lads are gonna love these.

Right.

That's right. Lovely.

Now, let's put the jacket on.

Right, right.

Loving it. You're so natural.

That's right.

Big Dog.

One more question, Ranger Parker. Of course.

I-I know you've been asked this probably

a million times in the past week,

but how's it feel to be inducted

into the Ranger Hall of Fame?

Well, uh...

"it is a, uh, mighty humbling experience...

"and one I'm not sure I rightly deserve.

"But I'd be lying

"if I did not say how proud I am

"to be thrown in with the likes

"of Hays, Sterling, Hamer,

"and the rest of those fine, uh, gentlemen."

All right. Thank you very much.

I don't think Big Dog's feet have hit the ground

since he got the announcement.

He's had one hell of a career, Trivette.

We got all exotic food,

mountain oysters, the whole shot.

Thank you very much. You bet.

Yyyyyeah.

Doggone it, I can't believe it.

I been lookin' at myself all week long in television,

the print, everywhere.

It looks like somebody else, but today, no,

it's not anybody else.

It's me, it's me.

I've had the dream, and the dream is real.

No one deserves it more than you do, C.D.

I really appreciate that, I...

It's just coming together, know what I mean?

It's real. It's gonna happen for me.

You gonna answer the phone? Mm?

You gonna answer the phone?

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

The phone, yeah, yeah, yes.

Yeah, C.D.'s.

It's your move.

Who is this?

Have you checked your mail today?

Who am I talking to here?

Go check your mail, old man.

I'll wait.

Yeah, Ruby, h-hand me that mail,

honey, will you, please?

Sure thing, C.D.

Oh, no, my Lord.

What is it?

We never finished our game.

Please don't kill that girl.

She's pretty, isn't she? She's sweet, isn't she?

She's waiting for you, Ranger P.

At Hampton Bridge.

Bye-bye.

What's going on, C.D.?

I-I-I'll explain it to you later.

We gotta get down to Hampton Bridge.

My Lord.

The Hangman's back.

♪ In the eyes of a Ranger ♪

♪ The unsuspecting stranger ♪

♪ Had better know the truth ♪

♪ Of wrong from right ♪

♪ 'Cause the eyes Of the Ranger ♪

♪ Are upon you ♪

♪ Any wrong you do He's gonna see ♪

♪ When you're in Texas Look behind you ♪

♪ 'Cause that's where The Ranger's gonna be ♪

Let's get her in the truck.

What do we got on this Hangman guy, anyway?

It was a case C.D. had years ago.

Never seen Big Dog so uptight before.

Bad memories, Trivette.

What is this?

Earring could've fallen off

when he threw her over the side.

Yeah.

Hey, Big Dog.

Wh...?

You okay?

No.

No, I'm n... I'm not worth a damn.

Walker, what's going on with C.D.?

It's the only case C.D. never solved.

Oh, I'm flying blind here.

Somebody's gonna have to bring me up to speed,

or I'm not gonna be any help to you.

Well, it goes back 11 years ago, Trivette.

There was a serial killer

out strangling young girls with a 13-loop knot.

Just like this one.

They brought C.D. in on the case,

and the killer started taunting him,

daring him to catch him.

Then the killings stopped.

The guy just disappeared.

Till now.

Until now.

I don't know what to do, Cordell.

You know, uh, this case retired me.

Eleven years ago,

he killed seven beautiful women.

And, ah, he blamed me...

for not catchin' him.

And, ah... And he was right.

Then I started, uh...

b-blaming myself.

And I got real sick, I... I couldn't sleep.

I couldn't think straight.

And, uh...

the sick monster kept sayin'...

that it was a game.

And all the time that he kept saying it was a game,

young women were losing their lives.

We're gonna catch him, C.D.

I promise.

I need this one.

Rangers' office. One moment, please.

Well, here it is, fellas.

The long and the short of it.

Hey, Big Dog.

We're checking your Jane Doe

through Missing Persons.

We got her picture on the wire.

We're coordinating with Homicide.

So everybody's on the same page.

We're gonna get this guy.

No, you're gonna get him,

because I don't want any more part of him.

What is this, C.D.?

I've never heard you say "quit" before.

I'm quitting the case,

and I'm also asking not to be inducted

into the Hall of Fame.

Wait a minute, the Hall of Fame

isn't about one case, C.D.

It's about your whole career.

The guy's out there. He's alive.

You can't let the Hangman do this to you, C.D.

Jimmy, I put everything I've got into this.

I can't give it any more.

I don't wanna hear that.

You're gonna help us catch this guy,

C.D., and that's the end of it.

All right, what about prison records?

Guys with the profile who went in

around the time that the hangings stopped.

I did it.

I'm not just talking about here.

Across the country, or overseas.

I did it.

Hospitals?

I did it.

Military records?

I did it.

All right, what about...?

Jimmy, listen.

I checked cemeteries,

hoping he'd blown his brains out.

I looked under every rock. There was nothing there.

I had people come down from Virginia

to profile this man.

His mother abused him when he was a child.

He hated her.

He hated his mother. He hates women.

That's all there is.

That's all there is!

I'm sorry.

It's all here in the file, Trivette.

This psycho thinks this is a game

and C.D. is his opponent.

Pick it up.

C.D.'s.

Hey, Ranger P.

Do you find you work better out of a bar now?

Well, what do you want?

What do I want?

I wanna finish our game.

I'm not interested.

You better get interested.

If you think that I came back to this town

so that you could turn around and quit on me,

you'd better think again.

I got nothing to say to you.

Oh, yeah?

Well, when they put you in that Ranger Hall

of old washed-up, burnt-out, has-beens...

Now, look here.

Why don't you show them

that picture I sent you?

Now, she was pretty, wasn't she?

She's not so pretty now.

Let's go nail the son of a bitch.

When's the time of death?

Sometime after 9, sometime before midnight.

Come on, Vince, this is a high-tech society we're in.

You can do better than that, can't you?

We're always the last one to get the call, C.D.

Yeah, I know.

There was no trace of drugs.

In fact, she was a very healthy young girl.

She was killed someplace indoors

about two hours before he strung her up

on Hampton Bridge.

Well, what about the noose?

Same rope you can find

at just about any good tack or hardware store.

Nothing's changed, C.D.

It's the same m.o. as it was 11 years ago.

He's still a wacko.

And we don't have

one damn thing on him, do we?

Uh-uh.

Yeah?

Hey, easy, C.D. It's me.

Got a Missing Persons on your girl.

I-I'm sorry, I thought you was that...

Listen, her name is Jenny Lynn Calder.

She's 18. She lives at 310... Brookhaven.

She lived there with her parents.

I got Homicide going over there now.

All right, now listen to me, Jimmy.

You gotta get on the street.

Somebody saw her going to eat,

going to a movie or something.

Get out and get on the street.

I'm gonna go to see Cordell right now.

I'm on it.

Thanks.

Vince, have to take a rain check on that.

Fine. Thank you.

You up for this?

Oh, this is... This is the worst part.

I don't understand.

The detectives have been all through her room.

What are you looking for?

Anything that would tell us

where your daughter was that night.

Prestonwood Mall. She went to a movie.

But I... I told the detectives all this.

Why are the Rangers involved?

Mr. Calder, I've been working on this case

more years than I'd care to admit to.

You mean this has happened before?

Yes, sir, years ago.

A serial killer.

You're telling me that my daughter

was killed by a serial killer?

Yes, sir. Yes, she was.

Well...

Why haven't we heard anything about it, or...

Read about it? I... I don't understand.

It was an old case.

It's been 11 years, and it started up again.

There's been a monster on these streets

all these years and you've never found him?

Yes, ma'am.

Because of you, my Jenny Lynn is dead.

I'm sorry.

All right.

Sir, if you don't mind,

we'd like to check her room.

Sure.

This way.

Beautiful girl.

Handsome family too.

For crying out loud.

What the hell was that, Cordell?

A group called Baboon.

Phewww.

Boy, it sounds like it.

My gosh, what happened

to Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson?

Different generation, C.D.

Wheww, I'll say.

C.D., come here.

That group Baboon

opened on the same night Jenny Lynn was killed.

A place called Trees.

Yeah, I know that place.

Down on Deep Ellum.

You know what?

I've got a hunch that Jenny Lynn

didn't tell her parents the truth

about where she was that night.

I think you're right.

Hi, this is Jenny Lynn.

Please leave a message after that silly tone,

and I'll call you back.

You know I will.

Ranger P., this is your conscience.

Are you there?

Ranger P., I know you're there.

Pick up the phone.

Ranger Parker.

Ranger Parker.

Ha, now, that's more like it.

Back in the old saddle.

Yeah, and I'm gonna stay in the saddle

till I run you to the ground.

Ha, ha, that's the spirit.

Back in the game.

It's not a game.

It's for keeps.

Oh, is it? Well, good.

Did you figure out where I picked up

Jenny Lynn the other night?

Why don't you tell me?

Nothing's changed, has it?

You're still stupid.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

You're not gonna figure it out, are you?

You were too stupid

11 years ago to figure it out,

and you're still stupid.

Am I going to have

to lead you by the nose again?

Could be. A poem.

Trees. I picked her up at Trees.

Did you get that, Ranger P.?

Yeah, I got it.

God, you bore me.

And you do not want to get me bored again,

do you, Ranger P.?

Now, listen, don't be doing anything

that's gonna be...

Don't tell me what to do.

This is the game, and I am winning.

Cordell, he's gonna do it again.

Let's go check out that club.

Yeah.

There must have been a thousand girls

Not a thousand that look like her. Now think.

Can I see that again, please?

Sure.

There was this girl outside, a...

preppie type.

This could have been her.

I was gonna let her in,

but when I turned around, she disappeared.

Anybody with her?

Being friendly or anything?

I don't know.

There might have been this guy,

but if I told you I knew

what he looked like, I'd be lying.

Ranger Parker.

Somebody looks pissed.

Yeah, well, my girlfriend

was supposed to be here

a half hour ago with the tickets.

Listen, uh, I don't mean to be rude,

but do you have a comp card?

What?

Oh, I mean a composite.

You're a model, right?

I mean, you gotta be a model.

Good line.

Hey.

I'm dead serious.

If you're not, you ought to be.

Um, actually, you know...

You're... You're not the first person

that told me that.

I just never really... What?

Heh, well, you know, I...

Yeah, I'll tell you what I know.

I've been shooting pictures for over 10 years.

And I know a potential supermodel

when I see one.

Heh. Really?

Yeah. I see next month's cover of Vogue.

I see Cosmo.

I see you. Ha, ha, ha.

Uh, I don't know about that.

Oh... Now... Now, let me see.

This fella was up there close to you,

but, um, you didn't, uh...

Didn't notice anything?

Well, i-it was dark,

and there were lots of people around.

I was really just watching the dancers.

Yes, ma'am, but with all due respect,

now, here's a man that's less

than five feet from you that's created this commotion,

a-and you tell me that you...

You don't see him?

I-I didn't see a man.

I just saw her. I-I saw her jump.

That was a damn mannequin.

Mannequins don't jump.

She had to be thrown.

He had to throw her over that railing.

Look, I'm... I'm sorry,

I just didn't see anybody.

No, ma'am, I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm... I'm very sorry.

Yes, ma'am, I'm...

I-I know that you did the best you could.

Yes, ma'am, I'm... I'm sorry.

I-I-I don't have any more questions

for you, ma'am.

Okay. You can go now.

Thank you.

C.D. Huh?

Why don't you go home and get some rest?

You've been working around the clock.

Huh? Okay?

Yeah, well, I-I'll go home and get some rest.

You bet. Yeah.

Okay.

I'll just get some rest.

I just got this crazy idea.

Well, it's not so crazy.

It makes perfect sense to me.

Why don't you come over to my studio,

I'll shoot a couple rolls of you,

and I'll put it on my editor's desk

first thing in the morning?

No, I-I really wanna see this.

Oh, darling, you'll be coming up

to things like this in a limousine

before long.

Oh.

I don't know about that one.

All right. My name's Kale Davis.

My studio's just around the corner.

I could have had you done in 45 minutes.

Um... Wait.

Sure.

You sure?

Yeah. I mean, what do I have to lose, right?

Yeah, well, there you go.

What is your name? I'm Annie.

Annie Braxton.

Well, Annie Braxton, tonight is your lucky night.

Wow.

Here we go.

Oh, there she is.

Who?

Carrie Ann. What?

Um, do you have a little card or something?

I could call you tomorrow.

Nuh... Tomorrow's no good. I have a deadline.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No, I-I just think we should go now.

No, let... Let me go.

Annie, what...? What's the matter?

I don... I don't know. I mean, I was just talking

to that guy, and... And he's cute.

He said something about pictures...

Are you okay?

C.D.'s.

No, no, no, not C.D.'s.

You're Ranger P. Say it. Ranger P.

You know who I am.

Say it. Why?

Your face. The look on your face.

I am celebrating the look on your face

when that dummy of mine swung down before you dummies.

Do you know how easy it would have been for me

to put another bitch out of her misery

right before your very bug eyes?

Do you, old man?

Then why didn't you?

Because... there is order in the game.

There is precision in the game.

There is beauty in the game.

Oh...

Where have you been the last 11 years?

I've been...

sad.

But now, I'm happy.

You forgot who you're talking to.

I can tell by your tone.

You ain't happy at all, boy.

These bitches, you...

You think they're angels and...

you just can't trust them.

You...

You can't trust them to play by the rules.

Is that too much to ask?

Yeah, did you get anything, Jimmy?

No, nothing.

That's what I was afraid of.

Listen, I think there's some young lady out there

that was almost snatched tonight by the Hangman.

I'll get a bulletin out ASAP.

Yeah, if you get anything on that,

let me know, will you?

Stay by the phone.

Yeah.

I'll get back to you. Oh... Oh, okay.

His eyes were... Were bigger than that.

Um, his... His n... His nose wasn't as flat.

He was a really good-looking guy.

You know, I mean...

He kind of reminded me of that actor...

Dark hair, y-you know, really in... Intent.

Oh, that's him.

Right there.

Tha... That's him.

So that's our man.

Jimmy, get that face on the wire

ASAP, will you?

The man who did these drawings.

Named Adam Quinn.

He's, um, 42 years old, and release date was April 10th

to our outpatient facility on Gaston Avenue.

And I'm afraid that's all the information

I can give you, Ranger.

But I can tell you that he made

very substantial progress.

Do the drawings look like the work

of a troubled mind?

Those drawings look like crime scenes, doctor,

where he left his victims... hanging.

Mr. Quinn's paid up through the end of the month.

Real nice fella. Quiet.

Hold it.

Clean as a whistle, Cordell.

Yep, I've jumped our bogeyman.

"Congratulations, Ranger P.

"You've picked up the scent.

Maybe you'll make the Hall of Fame after all."

More brass the damn government knew.

Much obliged.

Officer Blake, this fella just kills

on Friday and Saturday nights.

All the victims range from 17 to 23 years of age,

blond or fair-haired.

And they're all out on the town on a special occasion.

We now know what those occasions were.

Special concerts, movie openings,

things of this nature.

Anywhere people are gonna be taking pictures.

Annie Braxton said he posed as a photographer.

What openings do we have tonight?

Ah, well, there's two.

A club opening on McKinney,

and a new art exhibit at the Edith Baker Gallery.

Quinn thinks he's an artist.

He'll be at that one.

Okay, then we'll stake out the gallery

and we'll have the other place covered, okay?

Any questions, officer?

If I should make contact?

We'll be on him like white on rice.

C.D., what makes you think

he's gonna strike tonight?

Well, I'm supposed to be inducted

in the Hall of Fame tomorrow.

I feel like he'd wanna rub my nose

in it tonight.

Susan, you be careful out there, hon.

Okay.

Smile.

Beautiful. Thank you.

Oh, I'm doing great. I didn't know you were gonna be here.

You look wonderful.

In and clear.

Stay alert.

May I? Thank you.

All right.

This could be him.

Hi.

Heads up.

False alarm.

Wrong guy, C.D.

I may be wrong about this, Cordell.

He may not make a move tonight.

We have to play it all the way through, C.D.

I'm gonna get some fresh air.

Ha, ha, ha. So, salud.

It's him! Excuse me.

Cordell! Jimmy!

I got him.

I got him.

Trivette, he's outside.

It's him!

Quinn.

What's going on?

He went way up there.

He's... too fast.

Trivette, there's stairs.

I'm gonna check it out.

Trivette!

Texas Ranger.

You're under arrest.

It's been a great game, Ranger P.

It's never been a game.

Put the knife down and... put your hands up.

Don't make me shoot you.

Don't make me shoot you.

Do what you gotta do.

Damn you. Don't make me shoot you.

Don't do this. Damn you.

Oh.

What a great shot, Ranger P.

Game's over.

The Ranger's motto is:

No man in the wrong
